The Odyssey of Mike Pompeo
Soldier, statesman, attorney, businessman, politician, CIA director and diplomat - Mike Pompeo has traveled many roads.
It wasn't until November 18, 2016 that Mike Pompeo became one of the most significant of all Presidential appointees. That was the day that he was nominated by the newly elected President to become the Director of the CIA. Since then the right honorable Michael Richard Pompeo has served the administration well in filling vital positions and cleaning out swampland. Now as the head of the once wayward State Department, Pompeo has been able to finally implement the President's foreign policy. However, being an effective Trump loyalist has its consequences. Mike Pompeo has acquired a huge target on his back.
That is how one of the President's most valuable assets has come under sneak attack this week as another of those unique "whistleblowers" has fired another shot from the darkness claiming an expedited arms sale was - get this - "a phony declaration of an emergency!" This time, however, the hit job doesn't come from the deep state operative or the left over Obama ideologue, this time it comes from the consummate partisan hack Eliot Engel!
And why was inspector general Steve Linick looking at it?
Because: House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Rep. Eliot Engel asked him to! From the Washington Post: "His office was investigating — at my request — Trump's phony declaration of an emergency so he could send weapons to Saudi Arabia."
The President has since fired Linick and that may be a good thing. The other great abuse of power that Linick was hot on the trail of was Pompeo having a staffer walk his dog!
Thus far the President hasn't adequately answered why he fired Linick. That will surely cause democrats to once again over reach and alienate the American people who continue to reject the far left's hate.
As we prepare ourselves for the impending attacks on Pompeo and the possible second impeachment of the President, it may be time to remind everyone of a New York Times piece from a while back:
"Under the Arms Export Control Act, the State Department can issue an emergency declaration to sell weapons to other countries if it is determined that "an emergency exists which requires the proposed sale in the national security interest of the United States"

Like Mike Pompeo, I'm not going anywhere.
He is my inspiration!
They can boycott or leave the group, but I'm here to deliver truth to our readers.
Clearly a smart man and a Patriot.
Yes and yes. The House was primed & waiting to reject arms sales to Saudi Arabia. They never got the chance!
